If you are the sort of person who loves reading mystery novels and often has it all figured before you reach the end, then you might also be the type to revel in a murder mystery weekend. It is a fun and challenging pursuit for fans of mystery fiction and invites those taking part to crack the case, while enjoying a break in a country house or other grand setting.
In England, many period properties are the settings for murder mystery weekends or dinners and have the advantage of evoking the works of Agatha Christie, with costumes and setting seeming to have leapt straight of the pages of her best known books.
The US also has a well-established tradition of murder mystery breaks, with historic houses, rural settings or indeed more central locations playing host to ‘whodunits’.
What happens at a murder mystery weekend?
Guests much work together in teams to solve a murder. Actors in costumes will often play out a scene and the guests themselves can be suspects. Different clues are given at it is up to the ‘investigators’ to pick up on them and use them to crack the case.
Murder mystery weekends not only promote teamwork, they also encourage critical thinking and are a great workout for the ‘little grey cells’ as Hercule Poirot would call them.
They are also a great way for friends to bond over a common interest while providing a stimulating exercise for a weekend away and the prevalence of this type of entertainment means they are often high-quality productions.
